I’m glad to hear that you are taking some time “off” to recuperate. You, of all people, should know the damage that can be done by not giving in to the pain! Take care of yourself and heal quickly – I am really enjoying your pictures and narrative!

Hope you are feeling much better and will be able to continue. I have confidence you’ll make the right decision, you know how you feel and know your body. Give yourself the time you need and at least let this cold weather pass. Crazy how cold it was here today and really windy.
